Call of Duty: Black Ops has held on at the top of the All Formats All Prices UK video game chart, GfK ChartTrack reports.

FIFA 11 is also a non-mover at No.2, with Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: Cataclysm entering the chart at No.3.

Elsewhere there’s very little change to report.

It’s a little surprising not to see Cataclysm at the top of the chart, but the World of Warcraft expansion still became the year’s best-selling week one title on PC.

Cataclysm is also the first WoW expansion which launched simultaneously in stores and as a download direct from Blizzard – the immediacy of the downloadable version will have convinced many WoW gamers to forgo the joys of a boxed edition.

Black Ops and FIFA 11 also enjoyed sales increases, up two per cent and 15 per cent respectively.
